Bingo. It's not about the fact that she's a celebrity. Well, that might have a little to do with it. But it's much more about $$$.
Why do we cater to Celebs?

You seem to believe that TV drives society instead of reflects it. Others, including myself, believe that society drives TV. You almost act like people wouldn't be cheating on their spouses or having premarital sex if it weren't for that darned TV.
I've actually never had Newman's Own Salad Dressing. His face just creeps me out on the front of it.
I think they drive each other, a cycle that just gets worse and worse...adult society drives TV, and TV drives younger society (especially when parents don't put put forth any effort)
I'm not a big fan of his salad dressing, but his cookies are the heat. I don't really care about the "organic" deal. (Like, what kind of food is "inorganic", anyway?)
CAUTION: THREAD-KILLER COMMENT FOLLOWS>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm as hetero as they come, but I think Newman defines the male ideal of "handsome"
I think tv (but more our culture in general) is what drives behavior. The problems don't come with the current generation at whatever point in time, it's the ones that follow.
But back to the main topic, it's a combination of money and "public influence." But either way, immediately jumping to the conclusion that every single room in that hospital was filled except for the reserved one is ridiculous; it's just convenient to portray it as if J-Lo was putting someone in need SOL. And how is the characterization of actors or actresses as prissy stuck up asses any more legit that assuming they are nice people? Unless you are on good personal terms with a high profile celebrity, you're assumption isn't more or less valid than a bag of popcorn.
Do I think celeb's get better treatment than the general public? Or course. Money does weird things to people, no matter what your job or fame. I can tell you that I've met a huge number of totally self righteous ignorant stuck up (usually males) that aren't celebrities. I think I'd take my chances with a celebrity any day.

Just to add fuel to the fire, I heard last night that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Antony are asking $6 million for the right to publish the first photos of their twins--just in the U.S. The international publishing rights have already been sold, but I didn't hear for how much.
I've met and worked with a few of them and I would say a majority are stuck up. I would say out of a sample of 10 celebrities, 2 of them would be very cool people. 7 would be stuck up but not too bad, and the other 1 would be one of the worst people you have ever met in your life. Just my work experience though.
I've met a couple, and can see where most would be "stuck up". No matter how level headed you start out (and just think what kind of narcissist you have to be to think you have a shot at stardom) sooner or later, everyone starts believing their own press.
Even the nice ones have to always be "on guard" for idiots, which means they have to come off as "distant" at the very least.
All I know though, is that Eddie Arnold was "the heat" back in the day. He once spent several hours just shooting the breeze with me, a friend and his wife.

Recently on the actress, Brittany Murphy:
Murphy has been making outrageous demands while acting "like a diva," said one insider. "She's extremely difficult. When she gets to the set, it comes to a grinding halt. She's so hot and cold, you never know." According to our sources, Murphy insists on having diagonally cut peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crusts removed. "She needs one every hour. It's painstaking — her assistant takes about a half an hour making each one," said one crew member.
LOL, come on people. Tell her to stick it.

"Putting 'love' into food" has a different meaning, when you work in a prison kitchen, though...:wideeyed:
You've worked in a prison kitchen , havent you. You are Captain Experience, no? :smile:
Ummm, no, I haven't, but when I was teaching in a prison, I heard the phrase used, quite often. Hopefully, as a joke, when referring to a "treat" inmates working in the kitchen would prepare for CO's they really didn't like much.
